Chapter 940:


    A quiet breath escaped Sadie’s lips as weariness settled back over her shoulders.


    Dealing with the Higgins family felt like dragging around a storm. If it weren’t for the trail leading to her parents, she wouldn’t have gotten involved in the first ce.


    She pulled on a cream cardigan, the soft fabric a smallfort, and made her way toward the sitting room.


    Just as expected, Jarrett was already there. He sat motionless in his wheelchair, his expression impossible to read.


    The moment Sadie walked in, a faint smile tugged at Jarrett’s mouth. Sadie settled onto the sofa across from him, her posture steady and unhurried.


    “It’s gettingte, Mr. Higgins. What brings you over at this hour? Has your family finally sorted things out?” Each wordnded with intention.


    Jarrett’s expression wavered for half a second.


    It didn’t take him long to catch the bite behind her words—she was throwing shade about the scene Yvonne made at the wedding. She knew exactly where to press, and she did it without hesitation.


    Though irritation red in his chest, Jarrett managed to mask it with a polite smile.


    “I appreciate the concern, Ms. Hudson. But it wasn’t anything major. Things are under control now.”


    After a brief pause, he steered the conversation elsewhere. “I actually came to talk business. There’s an opportunity I thought might interest you.”


    The curve of Sadie’s brow lifted, her curiosity clearly piqued.


    A polite smile yed on her lips as she replied, “You don’t have to be so formal, Mr. Higgins. Our families are practically tied together at this point—no need to beat around the bush.”


    Step into a new world at gα?ησν???s?c?m


    Her shift in tone gave Jarrett the opening he was waiting for.


    “You’re sharp, Ms. Hudson. Smarter than most. Nathan? He’s just a spoiled heir with no sense of what real responsibility looks like. For someone like you to go as low as working with him, even using Wall Group’s resources to help him climb—don’t you think he’s just taking advantage of you?”


    He was casting doubt on Sadie’s judgment while belittling Nathan. Though her expression barely changed, the light in her smile began to fade.


    Taking that as a cue, Jarrett decided toy his cards on the table. “Let me make this simple. If you’re willing to shift your support to me, I’ll hand over half the Higgins Group shares to Wall Group—no strings attached.” That was generous.


    Sadie lowered her gaze, releasing a quietugh filled with disdain. To her, the Higgins family’s internal rivalry felt more like children bickering on a yground than a true power struggle.


    The offer of Higgins Group shares? That was almostughable. Did Jarrett really think that would tempt her?
